                        Report of Independent Accountants
                       Uniform Single attestation Program



To the Board of Directors
IMC Mortgage Company and Subsidiaries


We have examined the assertion by IMC Mortgage Company and Subsidiaries'
management about compliance with the minimum servicing standards identified in
the Mortgage Bankers Association of America's Uniform Single Attestation Program
for Mortgage Brokers (USAP) as of and for the year ended December 31, 1998,
included in the accompanying management assertion. Management is responsible for
IMC Mortgage Company and Subsidiaries' compliance with those minimum servicing
standards. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assertion
about the entity's compliance based on our examination.

Our examination was made in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly, included
examining, on a test basis, evidence about IMC Mortgage Company and
Subsidiaries' compliance with the minimum servicing standards and performing
such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We
believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our
examination does not provide a legal determination on IMC Mortgage Company and
Subsidiaries' compliance with the minimum servicing standards.

In our opinion, management's assertion that IMC Mortgage Company and
Subsidiaries complied with the aforementioned minimum servicing standards as of
and for the year ended December 31, 1998 is fairly stated, in all material
respects.
